    Can Magic key pass holders enter either park after 11 am

    Hey there, Linda! Welcome back to planDisney! Thank you for continuing to trust us to help guide you to make the most of your visit to the Disneyland Resort!   

    I absolutely love being a Magic Key pass holder. Being able to visit again and again whenever it fits my schedule is one of the most magical parts of the experience. One of the best perks is getting to enjoy both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park as often as you want, subject to capacity limits. Since Disneyland uses a reservation based system, every Guest chooses a starting park whether they have a One Day One Park ticket, Park Hopper, Multi Day ticket, or a Magic Key. A Magic Key works like a Park Hopper on eligible days, so you simply pick your starting park and then at 11 a.m. you can hop across to the other one with ease. You do have to scan into your starting park before you are able to hop to the other one, even if after 11 a.m. The flexibility to visit both parks in one visit makes planning your day so much more fun whether you want to chase a favorite Attraction, score a dining reservation, or save the perfect spot for the Nighttime Spectacular that will wrap up your magical day.

    There is something exciting happening right now at the Happiest Place on Earth. It may even be the tastiest place on earth thanks to the Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival. Now through April 27 you can try limited time bites and beverages that appear only during this celebration. I already have my eye on the Strawberry Horchata. With a Sip and Savor Pass you can nibble your way through your favorites. Each Festival Marketplace has its own themed offerings and some of the names crack me up. Cluck-A-Doodle-Moo is serving Asa’DOS with grilled skirt steak, chipotle chicken, Spanish rice, and salsa verde. That is an easy yes for me.

    Linda, I hope your Disneyland day is filled with fun, flavor, and plenty of happy park hopping moments. Come back any time. We are always here to help you plan and answer your questions!

    See ya real soon!
